Default BOL

BOL, or Bill Of Lading, is used for grouping.

Tip

Quick Tip: Driver App consolidation replaces the use of BOL.

Example for X Mobile

You have a route that runs in downtown Phoenix and services 4 different customers, but you don't want to have 4 different routes, and prefer to have 1 route with co-mingled route stops for all 4 customers.  However, your driver needs to have a parcel chain of custody for the imported work to give the shipper visibility to when the freight is loaded onto the truck and when it is delivered - this means 4 separate Load Stops for each customer.  A BOL on the Contract Stop level can be used to set a grouping value that will allow the driver to take bulk action on all 4 route stops at once without having to open each route stop, find the right parcels to scan while loading the truck, and add separate POD/signature info for each stop. 

Date

When enabled, appends the date to the BOL, for each day the stops are posted to the dispatch board. This allows stops to be separated by date. 

Tip

Quick Tip: This should be enabled for BOL to work as expected.

Send Parcel Scans Immediately

Enable parcel scan timestamps in X Mobile to be sent immediately, instead of after the stop is marked "Completed".
